Gary Locke: Kicking Off Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month

Mon, 05/02/2011 - 09:46

As co-chair of the White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, I’m honored to bat lead-off in what promises to be an interesting and informative month of blog posts on this site.

Today, more than 16 million Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) make up one of the fastest growing and most diverse populations in the United States.  Each of the dozens of distinct AAPI ethnic and language groups has a rich history that contributes to the fabric of our nation.

Here's an editorial in today's the Hill written by Congressmember Mike Honda. It's entitled, "Asian Caucus meets with Cabinet Secretaries: Asian Americans & Pacific Islanders have voice under Obama leadership." It really shows the difference between the current administration and the previous one.
